Sprinter Christophe Lemaitre produced a new French record for the 100m after clocking 9.92secs to win the national championships here Friday. It was three-tenths of a second quicker than the previous record which he set in Stockholm on June 18. Lemaitre was helped by the conditions, a temperature of 29 degrees celcius and a favorable wind (2m/s). Lemaitre will get the chance to rub shoulders once more with the world's best such as Usian Bolt and Asafa Powell at the world championships in Daegu, South Korean in August.
